From Shelf Stacker to CEO: Lessons from One of UK's most Respected CEO's

Welcome to Success is a System podcast hosted by Mike Greene. On today’s show, Mike is joined by David Potts, CEO of Morrisons. David has an incredible story from failing his exams to becoming one of Britain’s most successful business leaders. David discusses the importance of working with a team and how this can create a multiplier effect on a business – something that cannot be replicated by online services. He also shares his story of being the youngest supermarket manager at just 24 years old, and how he believes that we ignore the power of sport in the UK at our peril. David talks about the importance of the shop floor and how this is where success is won or lost. He emphasizes the value of the millions of shoppers and 100,000 people who work in Morrisons every week. Finally, David talks about the importance of strategy and how it’s not something to focus on once a year, but something to do as you turn every corner. He also reflects on the differences between big corporations and entrepreneurs, and how they both have something to learn from each other. We hope our listeners have gain some valuable insights from his incredible story.
